no more than a memory

i wonder how long

you’d remember me

if i left today

has my spirit

imprinted onto yours

or would the feeling

of my presence

dissipate

in a few short months?

what would be first

to go?

the taste of my lips

or their softness?

the wrinkles in my

forehead

or the roundness

of my nose?

would you remember my

laugh

longer than my voice?

the sight of my smile

more than my tears?

which memory would

abandon you

the fastest?

the day we met

the first time we kissed

or that morning i woke up

in your arms

and told you i love you?

i have no plans to

leave you

in fact

for the first time in my life

i’m confident that

i won’t be the one to go

and surprisingly

that doesn’t scare me

but i do wonder

if you left me

would i have made my mark

or will these months

blend

into the end of your

college years

as nothing more than a

moment?

will i remain

the one you can’t forget

or will my memory melt

until i am nothing more

than a girl you

used to know?
